          Appeal No. 96-3994                                                          
          Application 08/260,485                                                      



          Figure 2 of Maruyama discloses such program lines which relate              
          different full open-aperture diameters to focal length.                     





               For these reasons we reverse the rejection of claims 1,                
          4,                                                                          
          7 and 8 under 35 U.S.C. § 102.  As such, we must also reverse               
          the rejection of their dependent claims 2, 3, 5 and 6 under 35              
          U.S.C. § 103.                                                               
               Accordingly, in view of the foregoing, we have reversed                
          all of the rejections of the claims on appeal.  Therefore, the              
          decision of the examiner is reversed.                                       
                                      REVERSED
